LESSON 29 ( Starting Off Right )

 The Parts of the Guitar

There are three main types of guitars, 

1- The steel-string acoustic,
2- The nylon string or classical guitar,

3- And the electric guitar.

 

The Names of the Strings  

             The six strings of a guitar are numbered from first to sixth
starting on the thinnest string and counting up to the thickest
string. 

            The strings also have letter names that correspond-to each string. Memorize the names of your strings. 

Proper Right Hand Technique

                Hold the pick between your thumb and first finger. The thumb and pick should form a 90 degree angle. The pick should be sticking out from underneath the thumb a 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch.

                Bracing your hand gives your hand the needed stability to accurately switch between strings. Although there are many different ways to brace, placing your pinky on the soundboard right
below the first string is the most common way. You don't need to press hard.

Proper Left Hand Technique

                  Hold your thumb on the back of the fingerboard on the upper side of the neck. Be careful not to put your thumb on top of the neck. Your wrist should be low with some air space between your palm and the neck of the guitar.

                  Your four fingers should be evenly spaced. Notice how the middle two fingers are coming straight onto the fretboard. Your first and fourth fingers are curved slightly toward the frets.
